For those who still won’t shut up about the G8x. It doesn’t matter if your sisters friend cousins brother thinks it’s ugly. And You think it’s ugly. And your grandma and her retirement home friends think it’s ugly. Apparently they were never BMW buyers because the G8X is the best selling //M of all time. And that’s record breaking units delivered to customers. Yes, individual units (not total dollar count for haters pointing to COVID markup). That’s in spite of supply shortages and price markups. At this point in the F80 life cycle I got an offer for 14% off MSRP. Others were getting more.

The bean counters at BMW know what’s up. The executives are chalking it up as validation of the designers work. In the end BMW is out to make money with controversial conversation generating designs, not to satisfy your longing for new e30.
I want to believe you. What is your source that shows the G8x record breaking unit sales?
